Our itineraries are bold and colourful, so are our tour guides.

We are passionate about bringing like-minded individuals together to explore this beautiful landscape we call our backyard and are ready to go full steam ahead with our next tour the moment it is safe to do so.
For now, we will continue to bring you stunning photography, travel stories and helpful tips during these unprecedented times.
Our team remains dedicated to helping you, so please pick up the phone or fill out our contact form and we will be in touch. We look forward to you joining us and experiencing New Zealand like never before.

The restriction is aimed at discouraging camping and congregation in the light of the raised COVID-19 alert levels and directives from the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health. While the restriction will be in place until further notice, cyclists and pedestrians will continue to have access to pathways by the river.

Metlink GM Scott Gallacher says, that while there are still a number of issues to work out, all trains and buses will move to Sunday services after Tuesday.
“We’ll work to deliver to the current timetables across the network tomorrow but from first thing Wednesday morning, Sunday timetables will be implemented,” says Mr Gallacher.
Buses will no longer board from the front door. Metlink apologises to customers who rely on the accessibility options provided at the front door and encourages customers to find out more about Total Mobility services during this time by calling 0800 801 700.
Customers will be encouraged to continue their own physical distancing practices on all trains and buses, leaving a space next to them where they can.
“We’re still working out what this might mean for Wairarapa rail services and will provide more updates when they become available,” says Mr Gallacher.
UPDATE: As part of the move to Sunday timetables, Metlink school bus services will not run from Wednesday.

The naivety of many NZers is astounding

As the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continue to evolve, we are taking advice from the official government sites and so we are implementing these measures to protect the health of our customers and our volunteers, while ensuring our on-line services continue to operate as normal.
Our books are still available for purchase via the website shop on line pages.
Contact us by email at writersplotreadersread@outlook.com or message us through our facebook page and we can arrange pick up from the shop or drop off for local (Upper Hutt) customers.

We are aiming to keep up phone contact with those we know have medical needs and live alone with little support. Please advise us via email if you know someone who meets this criteria and is not receiving support. Better yet, please support them if you can.
This is a difficult time for many, and we want to be here for our community. So let’s choose to be kind, considerate and positive. After all it’s impacting everyones lives. We’re all in this together.
